First volume of the City Creation series released!
The City Creation series is a step by step project training series teaching the techniques and workflow needed to create towns and large scale city scenes. Throughout the series you will learn hundreds of techniques covered in several applications. As the series grows, so will the amount of applications covered. Learn to perform similar tasks between applications, thus, removing integration barriers, expanding application features, providing alternative methods if one fails, and allow users to create the project scenes, even if access to a covered application is not readily available.

City Creation - Volume 1
Building Textures, UV Mapping, and Modeling

Learn to create amazing looking buildings with a small amount of polygons, using realistic materials and shaders created from texture maps (Color, Normal, Diffuse, Bump, and Displacement). For game design, Pre-viz for object replacement, or instancing over large areas.

Volume one is over 5 hours in length, with 3 hours and 26 minutes dedicated to training in Photoshop, and 1 hour and 48 minutes in Cinema 4D.

The first volume of the Advanced Production Techniques series has been released. Dynamic Function Control and Animation. On sale now for $30 USD. The next volume, is in production and will be released shortly. The name is not yet finalized. The training will cover how to prepare for dynamically populated ecosystems, minimize tweaking, and the best way to approach ecosystem creation to maintain control. The free page will be showing up on the asilefx site shortly. It will include content, tools, and a host of other useful things as it grows. The first resource, to be posted within the next 24 hours, is a vegetation data chart. It will contain some very helpful information to aid in the creation of vegetation based ecosystems. The chart focuses on variation and size for each species, but also includes information like the amount of material sub-sets it has, and the default wind and breeze settings. Basically this will eliminate the need to guess the size of an ecosystem instance, allow you to make quick comparisons between species. Further development is also planed for this reference.

At the end of 2008 all asileFX texture collections were discontinued, to prepare for the new releases. Unfortunately it has taken more time than originally planned to remake, reorganize, and improve these products. Rather than releasing all textures in a single collection, they are being organized into appropriate categories, like Doors. Previous collections were called Random Textures, and not very specific. These smaller collections are more budget friendly, allowing purchases of specific types of materials. The total cost per unique material has also been significantly decreased, around a 40% cost reduction. All textures have been remade. The collections also feature several new and unique materials. All bump maps have been re-crafted, and in addition, the collection includes Alpha, Diffuse/Specular, and Tangent Normal maps. Image maps are now saved in the lossless compression TIFF format, however, the color and normal maps are uncompressed tiff files.Currently there is no projected date for future collection releases.Groundcover Collection 50 High-Resolution SolidGrowth Plant Species.Includes ecosystem optimized versions of every plant, 100 plants in all. All image maps were created from unique source photographs and scans, providing as much realism as possible. All vegetation material channels include Color, Bump, and Transparency image maps. 36 primary plants include Highlight/Specular image maps. All image maps are .png files incorporated into the .veg files, these maps can be extracted and applied to any material or saved for usage in other applications.Image Bit-Depths:[Color 8-bit RGB] [Bump, Transparency, and Highlight are 16-bit Grayscale]
